My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
ok, but not great. Good story, but was let down by the artwork. Was nice to compare this to the movie that I had already watched a while ago.
Finished Ratchet and Clank
Tonight I finally finished Rachet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction. It was a really fun game but maybe a bit too long. The great part is that now I can play the game again with all the weapons and armor that I accumulated the first time thgough, making the game that much more fun!

I=PAT….Overpopulation and Overconsumption
I=PAT is
the size of the population (P) is multiplied by the average affluence or consumption per individual (A), and that in turn is multiplied by some measure of the technology (T) that services and drives the consumption. Thus commuting in automobiles powered by subsidized fossil fuels on proliferating freeways creates a much greater T factor than commuting on bikes using simple paths or working at home on a computer network. The product of P, A, and T is Impact (I), a rough estimate of how much humanity is degrading the ecosystem services it depends upon.
This is a very well written and extremely thought provoking article on overpopulation and overconsumption. It is worth your time to read.
